    No doubt. Any advice is going to have caveats, and you have to be able to read the room to know whether hard work will pay off. It usually doesn’t hurt to reach out to current employees to see what the culture is like.

    But, people do need to temper their expectations of hopping into a high paying salaried role directly out of college if they haven’t networked enough to know a guy.

      Well yeah but that’s the overall problem with the world in general right now. Basically the whole concept is “right now there’s less job opprotunities”, so companies can race to the bottom, let people underbid eachother. But in the future… there may or may not be opprotunity to advance.

      What makes it scary is basically the industries statement is “yeah we’re cutting jobs here… but historically we’ve always come up with new jobs to replace the ones we get rid of”, but now there’s just no real indication of that to be the case. There’s obviously a tipping point to that, we can’t manufacture everything infinitely and there always be a market. Especially when disposable income for the average person is rapidly declining as everyone’s putting most of their resources into essentials.
